SIRT2 is composed of a central catalytic domain, the structure of which has been solved, and N- and C-terminal extensions that are thought to control SIRT2 function. However structural information of these N- and C-terminal regions is missing.

In mammals seven different sirtuins, SIRT1-7, have been identified, which share a common catalytic core domain but possess distinct N- and C-terminal extensions. This core domain elicits NAD(+)-dependent deacetylase and in some cases also ADP-ribosyltransferase, demalonylase, and desuccinylase activities.
